followed , the principal speakers being Sir H . D . Wolff , Mr . Bourke , and the Chancellor of the Exchequer . In the end the motion was negatived without a division . Mr . G . Duff then drew attention to the Report of the Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into the endowed
schools and hospitals in Scotland , and hoped the Government would bring in a Bill next Session based on the recommendation of the Commissioners . The appointment of Sir A . Slade , as Receiver-General of Inland Revenue , having been made the subject of comment , the
Hoiise went into Committee of Supply on the Civil Service Estimates . Mr . Cross ' s Labour Bills engrossed the chief attention of the House on Monday . An amendment to Clause 3 of the Employers' aud Workmen ' s Bill , proposed by Mr . Mundella and supported by Mr . Lowe , was also
defeated by a majority , there being 162 for and 182 against the proposition . This Bill having passed through Committee , the House passed to the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Bill . On Clause 4 of this sundry amendments were proposed , but the Government generally held to their
views , though evincing a very conciliatory spirit . Progress having been reported , the House went into Committee on the Militia Laws Consolidation and Amendment Bill , progress being reported on Clause 32 . At the morning sitting on Tuesday , the Committee on the Supreme Court of
Judicature Act ( 1873 ) Amendment ( No . 2 ) Bill was resumed . On the House reassembling , at nine o ' clock , Mr . Sullivan brought forward a motion relating to the Science and Art Department ( Dublin ) , but it was withdrawn . Mr . P . Taylor then moved for returns of crime
pnd punishment in the Navy , but was defeated by 101 to 63 . On Wednesday , the Municipal Elections ( Cumulative Votes ) Bill was lost on the second reading , Mr . Cross moving the previous question . The Allotment Extension Bill , moved by Sir C . Dilke , was got rid of in similar
fashion , Sir R . Knightley moving the previous question , and , on division , proving victorious by 164 to 116 . The debate on the second reading of the Waste Lands ( Ireland ) Bill was adjourned . On Thursday , the question of the visit of the Prince of Wales to India occupied the greater
part of the evening . The proposition of the Government was opposed , in the first instance , by Mr . Fawcett , on the ground that no part of the expenditure should fall on the revenues of India . But the Government carried the day , by 379 to 67 . It is pleasant to record that no members
were more enthusiastic in support of the votes for His Royal Highness ' s expenditure than Messrs . Gladstone and Bright . In Committee of Supply , the sums asked by
Ministers were readily voted , but not without divisions , Mr . Macdonald leading the Opposition . Sir C . Dilke ' s motion for a more complete representation of the people was rejected by 190 to 120 .
On Tuesday , their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales gave a second garden party at Chiswick , at which , in addition to various members of the Royal Family , there were present his Highness tho Sultan of Zanzibar and H . R . H . Humbert , Crown Prince of Italy .
The previous afternoon their Royal Highnesses went to Norbiton , and there formally opened the Children ' s Branch of the Metropolitan Convalescent Institution . On Wednesday evening there was a grand fete at the Royal Botanic
Gardens , Regent's Park , under the presidency of the Duke of Teck . H . R . H . the Duchess of Teck and the Grand Duchess ) of Mecklenburg-Strelitz arrived about half-past fen , by which time the gardens were well filled , in spite of the abominable weather .
On Monday , the freedom of the City of London was publicly presented to his Highness the Sultan of Zanzibar . This interesting ceremony was conducted at Guildhall , whither the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs went in state , attended by their officers . The freedom v as contained in
a large and beautiful casket , and His Highness evidently appreciated the honour conferred upon him . After the conclusion of the ceremonial , the Sultan accompanied the Lord Mayor to the Mansion House , and there partook of a sumptuous dejeuner . The guard of honour on tho occasion
was furnished by the 93 rd Highlanders . Dr . Badger interpreted , as usual , the views of His Highness . The Eton and Harrow match ended in a draw , the latter having 03 runs to the good and four wickets yet to fall .
The weather on Saturday proved a satisfactory contrast to that of the day previous , when Eton made 66 runs without the loss of a wicket in the 35 minutes during which it did not rain . This number was increased to 202 before all the Eton team wore disposed of , The Hon . E , Lyttelton . made

59 , E . Harding 26 , W . E . Forbes 47 , and Wakefield 22 . Harrow , however , could only manage 110 , Cliater heading the score with a well played not out 30 , while Cochrane , Clough-Taylor , and Grundy contributed 19 , 10 , and 22 respectively . Thus Harrow had to follow on , which , thanks
principally to Tyssen , Chater , Kemp , and Meek , they did most effectively . The first' two named were well set , when the stumps were drawn , the former having put together 39 , and the latter 35 ; Kemp made 35 , Meek 1 G , and Wilkinson 11 .
As regards its principal feature , the Hound Show , the Alexandra Palace was most unfortunate . It rained without intermission during both days , the consequence being that except judges and others whose dutytook them thither , there were hardly any visitors to what , had the weather been
decently fine , would certainly have proved a great attraction . There were 149 entries , ranged in fifteen classes , the prizes varying from £ 2 to £ 10 , and exceeding in the aggregate some £ 250 . The judges were Messrs . H . Yillebois , J . H . Barton , and Leicester Hibbert , and these admirably
performed their arduous duties . Among the winners may be mentioned the names of the Duke of Beaufort , the Earl of Portsmouth , the Quorn Hunt , the Old Berkshire , the West Norfolk , and others . Had there been some sunshine , the scene would have been a very lively one , but no amount of
enthusiasm would have quite reconciled the most ardent lover of field sports to the sloppiness of the ground , the leaden dulness of the sky , & c , & c . At times , indeed , it rained cats and dogs , the latter , no doubt , out of compliment to the hounds , who supplied all the music on the
occasion—at least , the outdoor music . On Monday the fates were more propitious . The Licensed Victuallers fared better than the hounds . There was a bright warm sun the whole day through , and the fireworks were not , as is common , a failure . The publicans poured in in their
thousands , and no doubt the funds of the Asylum will have considerably benefited . To-day is the Scottish Fete , first seen in London some five or six and twenty years since , in Holland Park . There is a long list of noble patrons , and we trust everything will pass off well . On Monday next
is the grand gathering of the Odd Fellows , while , beginning from Wednesday , are a series of Concerts , to be given every Monday , Wednesday , and Saturday during the season . At the Crystal Palace , the principal events of the
week have been the meeting of the Catholic Total Abstinence League held , under the presidency of Cardinal Manning , on Monday , and Mr . living ' s Shaksperian and other readings on Wednesday afternoon .
One of our grand annual events is now m progress . The International Rifle Association are holding their grand meeting , and for anotherweek there will be rifle matches and contests of every descrip tion . We shall know , not many dayshence , whoisfcheQueen ' sprizeman of theyear , and which
is the stronger , the House of Lords or the House of Commons . Then there will be an international Enfield Match , and the contest for the Elcho Shield . A good half score of public schools will contend among themselves as to which of them shall hold the Ashburton Shield , and the best
sportsman of each team will afterwards exhibit their individual prowess in firing for the Spencer Cup . As for the host of other competitors , All Comers , the Alexandra , the Albert , the Alfred , & c , we should only be puzzling our readers if we enumerated them . In one respect we certainly
do not envy even the most fortunate winner his winnings , or the most enthusiastic volunteer his enthusiasm , if they havo camped on the Common under the present somewhat trying conditions . This is infinitely beyond " a modest
quencher " which Mr . Jupiter Pluvius has been so plentifully offering us since the morning of Tuesday . In fact , it occurs to us that we have not experienced so wet a summer since 18 G 0 , the first or second year of the Volunteer
Movement . The Meeting of the Eoyal Agricultural Society was held this year at Taunton , opening on the 10 th instant , and closing yesterday . That the usual excellence of the display has been fully maintained , that the various classes of
